Et exaudívit clamórem meum * et edúxit me de lacu misériæ et de luto fæcis;
He listened to my cries. He hath taken me out of the pit of perdition, from the mire of the mire;

He hath lifted up my feet on the rock, He hath strengthened my steps.
Et immísit in os meum cánticum novum, * carmen Deo nostro.
